Denise Jackson, 44, is a regular customer at McCoy’s Inc., 2823 Jefferson St. in Marianna, and plays the lottery pretty regularly, as well, said Suzette McCoy, co-owner of the store.

In Wednesday’s Powerball, which had a top prize of $587.5 million, Jackson played winning numbers 5, 16, 22, 23 and 29, but her Powerball number did not match the winning number, 6.

“She usually comes by here every evening, I would say, probably, around 6 to 6:30 p.m.,” said McCoy, who knows Jackson personally. “We were really excited about it.”

Jackson could not be reached for comment Thursday night.

The archery and convenience store was awarded a $1,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket, a Florida Lottery news release said.

McCoy believes her store will become a local lucky charm for the lotto.

“We’ve had some winners that had to go to Tallahassee before to collect a large sum, but nothing quite that big,” she said. “Now that people know people actually will win in this area, I’m hoping it will boost sales on the Lotto for us.”

According to the Florida Lottery, Powerball created six new Florida millionaires. Two tickets, in Arizona and Missouri, matched all numbers and will split the top prize.

When it comes to getting the payoff, it’s not a simple process, said Jim Garner, CPA at Tipton, Marler, Garner and Chastain, The CPA Group, a Panama City accounting and consulting firm.

“That’s a situation, if we were telling somebody about that, we would need a lot of information,” Garner said. “On the lottery, you can get a 20-year payout or take a reduced amount lump sum. Some people should probably take the 20-year payout; some people should take a lump sum. It just depends upon the individual and their family circumstances and various other information.

“There’s no answer that’s the same for everybody,” he added.

The next Powerball drawing will be Saturday. As of Thursday evening, the jackpot stood at $40 million, or $26.2 million if taken as a lump sum.
